During drag operation into the folders pane the folders always expand automatically even though option "Open folders during drag operations" is off. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Switch off optio "Open folders during drag operations" 2. Drag a file into a folder on the folder pane. OBSERVED RESULT If folder has subfolders, it is expanded automatically. EXPECTED RESULT Drag target folder not expanded while option "Open folders during drag operations" is off. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 19.10 with Plasma backports KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.62.0 Qt Version: 5.12.4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION It appears as if the option is used only during drags inside of the details view mode with expandable folders. In this case it would be more logical to make this a suboption of this view mode. Currently the option is located in the "navigation" area of the preferences dialog. However, I would much prefer to have it working with the folders panel, too.

Same thing with Dolphin 19.12.1 Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.66.0 Qt Version: 5.14.0
Yes, it is still present with 19.12.1.
Can confirm on dolphin from git master. Folders in the folder pane expand.
This bug is not present with Plasma 5.26.5 and Dolphin 22.12.2. With the option on, folders on the sidebar get opened as expected, while when it's off, they do not. I tested with multiple views, folders, and file types. I'm changing the status to RESOLVED FIXED. Werner, if you can still reproduce it, you can change it back to REPORTED and maybe include some additional information about how to reproduce it.

I'm I just tested it again, on Dolphin 22.12.1. Behaviour is unchanged on this version. The configuration option has an effect when dragging files over folders inside the file pane. Behaviour depends on the option then. But it does not when dragging files from the file pane to the folder pane. Anyway, maybe it was fixed with 22.12.2. I will test it again as soon as I get that version.
guimarcalsilva, I am changing status to REPORTED as per your suggestion because on Dolphin 22.12.2, currently on Fedora 37, the issue is reproducible unchanged. I am not sure which additional information I could provide over the issue description. I already tried to keep it as succinct as possible. However, I did the next best thing and looked at the Dolphin source code on Github. The navigation option is bound to GeneralSettings::autoExpandFolders(). It affects two things: 1. The auto-activation delay in views/dolphinview.cpp: const int delay = GeneralSettings::autoExpandFolders() ? 750 : -1; m_container->controller()->setAutoActivationDelay(delay); 2. Same thing in panels/places/placespanel.cpp: if (GeneralSettings::autoExpandFolders()) { setDragAutoActivationDelay(750); } else { setDragAutoActivationDelay(0); } And that's it for references to this option. Note how it uses -1 versus 0 between both code locations. Not sure if that is intended. On the other hand, panels/folders/folderspanel.cpp has this hardcoded: m_controller->setAutoActivationDelay(750); So there you have it. The folders pane does not respect this setting as far as I can tell.
